Okay, you brought the exception to my deep seeded hate. Book stores. I LOVE THEM.

Oh Lex, I hate malls and Walmart. Glad you enjoy them but I think our budding romance is domed to fail...love ya though.

Glad to hear a man say he loves shopping as much as I hate it, so much for stereotypes!

OK the question also asked why do we hate it (if we do) First I hate spending money I may or may not have. Second, clothes shopping when you are overweight is never fun and come to find out it isn't so good when you are underweight either. Second I have never shopped enough to know my way around so am always lost while shopping, as in I need my mommy!

I know the general impression (for good reason) is that women love to shop but in my case it was my late husband who loved it. Thanks to him I have nice things now. Like a Bose radio and a good tv.

my mum got me hooked by reading to me when I was a kid ;-)

and thank ye kindly sweet =P I will take you up on the offer of staying outside. haha

sounds like a good addiction - ya it's a cool mall - set up to look like a village with outdoor restaurant tables and such

Sounds like your late husband knew about quality.. Bose will last a lifetime.

I like the shops with the sign, "Any unattended children will be given a kitten or puppy."

I think it is different when the shops have something you want to look at and you have the money to buy something if you see something you want.

Well, I can only be in a relationship for about 3 months, anyway, so it's probably best that we don't end up hijacking 95% of the forums talking about what a horrible mess we found ourselves in, and dragging it out for six years in the Poetry and Creative Writing Forum. I mean, there's enough drama here already, what with people talking about whether or not they would try to get the person above them to have sex with a Chia pet.



I'm probably suffering from some kind of undiagnosed chromosome problem, because I have zero interest in the things guys are supposed to be interested in -- bars, drinking, football, hunting, fishing, working on cars, illiteracy, shirtless pics, that sort of thing. I don't know if that's good or bad.

6 hours to shop for undies?... ...didn't know that it took men that long ...also did not know men call it undies...maybe that is why you do not like shopping...shopping in wrong departement

@lilblackmagic, that was a sexist generalization on my part, and I don't wear boxers, so what would you call em so I don't get mistaken in the wrong department again!

Also, where I come from, we call em' "bobettes".

You have interest in the main thing guys are (straight guys anyway) supposed to have interest in. US!!!!

My late husband was into hunting and football, not the rest...still I don't miss those two things being a huge part of my life.

Thanks for letting me down gently, always the gentleman and always appreciated!

I hope the Bose and the car he bought me and my only tv (15 or so inch cause it was a kitchen table tv, flat screen, very cool but small now as my only tv) last a very long time! I will have to do with out if any of them die.

Just for the record, my late husband WAS quality.

...did not mean to be rude...that was a first for me...a guy saying undies ...someone want to answer that question?

Under bunders
Banana hammocks
Briefs
Skidds
Budgie Smugglers
slingshots
knickers
skivvies
Bathmats
flavor savors
poopouri

To name a few, I just thought undies was more appropriate for a dating site, I guess I stand corrected.

...now that is more sexy

I don't like shopping with girls, either, and I don't particularly like to shop with other women. I only shop with another woman when my sister comes to visit. I am not a herd animal.

But I love to shop because I love clothes and shoes.

If a man doesn't care about how he looks, and that means his clothes as well as his grooming, why should a woman care to be seen with him? A lot (even most) men want to be seen with a woman who is well dressed and looks good, right? Why shouldn't a woman want the same?

I want to look good, and that means the right clothes, and the right clothes means shopping--it is a simple equation.

I buy just about everything on sale. Today, I bought two pairs of high boots and a dress for about $100. The boots were 70% off and the dress was 50% off.

In fact, finding things on sale is a part of the hunt that I enjoy.

And I have bought underwear for men; if you can find "undies" for $5, even at Walmart, I bow to you.

A large part of the dating game revolves around looks, but it also depends upon the type of woman a man seeks: if he likes stretch pants, over-sized tee-shirt and flip-flops on a woman, then he wouldn't worry about his clothes!

Gotta love google!!
